Just loving the warm orange theme of this.

It is how many winter nights are etched in my memory. Out on drives with my father.

How so you do the big circle gradient around the lights? You paint each pixel individually?

Well, guess I'll be the other guy.

You're objectively wrong here. While I don't doubt your personal experience, street lights like this do exist and are even pretty commonplace. Sodium lamps are still in use the world over, particularly rural areas because of the relative costs involved (They're either cheaper to produce or cheaper to run, don't remember. Maybe both). It's the sodium that gives them that soft orange light, and a quick google search will give you plenty of like examples to the above.

At any rate, the artistic decision making on display here would be legitimate whether the lamps had real world analogues or not. The juxtaposition of natural snowfall and artificially monochromatic warm light creates a unique and evocative scene.

Didn't realise this was pixel art until I looked closely. Great stuff.

This makes my heart ache. Reminds me of growing up in Northern Minnesota and taking evening walks as a kid. I love this so much. The little details, like the TV flickering in the window, are stunning

sodium lights are nostalgia. When I was a kid it was time to go home when they were turned on

The issue with the sodium vapor is that it is not as effective as the LEDs for safety. But typically they avoid putting them in neighborhoods because the LEDs will keep you awake but sodium vapor has little effects on sleep

The first level of Scott Pilgrim Vs The World was similar to this. Fun game with a lot of nostalgic throwbacks. Can be a little over the top at times, but overall a fun one. Music was also done by Anamanaguchi, and is fantastic - It's a great introduction to chiptune music.

I don't know where you live but up until a few years ago, every single lamp in my city had exactly this color, because they were sodium-vapor lamps. They've been replacing them with LED lights but still plenty of sodium lamps remain. If you do an image search, you'll find plenty of photos that look almost identical to the pixelart. One example: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:High_Pressure_Sodium_Lamps.JPG

I have recognized your work after seeing another one a couple days ago. Not only environment is so beautiful and atmospheric, but the girl visible on your works appears so real thanks to animations that are perfectly minimalistic and expressive. I can imagine classic adventure game featuring your style, it would be lovely to play.

This is what winter is like in New England. Scarily quiet, cold wind, grayish brown slush, and judging by how dark it is, I'd say this is like 4:30 PM.

This is cool but the wildly disproportionate sprite in a totally different art style is kinda ruining the vibe for me.
